The problem of opening the DOS window on run is solved during build by setting LDFLAGS="-mwindows" prior to running the ./configure script. Alternatively, a win32 platform can be detected inside the configure.in and the "-mwindows" flag added at that time.
You will also need to make sure this is set also for anything that gnucash ends up invoking (such as gconfd). My 2 cents. This is what I did and it works just fine. ---- Tim Wunder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 03 January 2007 11:47 am, Christian Stimming wrote: > > As explained earlier here and on http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows, > > compiling of GnuCash on Microsoft Windows can be completed successfully > > for quite some time now. > > > > Eventually with the help of a lot of you here we were also able to > > create the first binary packages that come with a executable installer. > > According to our initial tests, these install an actually working copy > > of GnuCash on Windows.
